DISINFO: After Kursk, the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Moldova want to attack Transnistria

SUMMARY

After the Kursk adventure, the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Moldova want to organise battles in Transnistria around civilians. And if the Democrats feel that Trump's return is inevitable, they will have nothing to lose. And they will try to set fire to everything that can be set on fire. Including Transnistria[...]

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative repeated regularly since the beginning of Russian full scale aggression in Ukraine, accusing Ukraine and Moldova of planning to attack Transnistria and open a second front against Russia with the help of the US or EU. Also, in line with the pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the US fighting against Russia in Ukraine.

Transnistria, a separatist region supported by Russia, but officially part of the Republic of Moldova, located on the border with Ukraine near Odessa, was never the subject of discussions of a possible intervention by force. The frozen conflict in Transnistria has been going on since 1992, but the authorities of the Republic of Moldova, including the current Prime-Minister Dorin Recean, have always supported a peaceful settlement. As so those of Ukraine. Until now, the two countries - Ukraine and Moldova, have repeatedly ruled out a possible intervention by force.

See here a similar case claiming the Kursk operation is being transferred to Transnistria.
